Oliver + S is a new pattern company that specializes in children’s clothing. We love that each piece is simple and wearable with a charming, vintage feel. This is a four pattern collection, but there are several variations within each one to allow for many adorable wardrobe combinations.
Aimee made the Party Sundress and Playsuit (my favorite!). She used Michael Miller Organics for the bodices and little gingham pants and Denise Schmidt’s Katie Jump Rope for the flowery skirt. The oranges pop against the calm neutrals of the Organics and keep with the retro look. So sweet!
Baby clothes are fun because they go quickly, and you can try new sewing techniques on a smaller garment. This would be a perfect project for a beginner ready to expand their skills. Really, the cuteness factor alone is enough to give it a try!Enemy at the Gates buy

Oh that dress is absolutely adorable.
I’ve got to get in there and sign up for a beginner’s class. For years now I’ve said, I wanted to sew and now’s my opportunity.
Thanks Cecilia! I hope to see you soon!
ADORABLE! I thought these patterns were so cute, but NOW that I have seen the finished product I have to buy it ASAP! Great fabric combinations! Aimee did a great job!
